The sandstone monument located in a small park of the village Klamoš near Chlumec nad Cidlinou (East Bohemia) is dedicated to 14 fallen fellow-citizens during the Great War (1914-1918). In March 1925, a committee was set up to prepare a memorial to the victims of the World War, chaired by the managing teacher Vaclav Plasil, who was himself a war veteran and a legionnaire. The "Statue of Liberty" was selected from various designs and commissioned to Bozena Peterkova from Chlumec nad Cidlina. A suitable site in the village was chosen and a "Legionnaires' Park with a memorial" was established. The memorial was inaugurated on July 19, 1925.

FRANTIŠEK BRYNDA, JAROSLAV CERNÍK, JAN DRAHOKOUPIL, FRANTIŠEK CHÁRA, VÁCLAV KOLÍNSKÝ, VÁCLAV KRÁL, FRANTIŠEK OUZKÝ, VÁCLAV PACHOLÁTKO, JOSEF SVOBODA, JOSEF VERÍŠ, JOSEF VOLTR, JOSEF VLCEK, ALOIS VŠETECKA, JAN ŽIVNÝ
